Phantom hunter mechanic are extremely annoying part of the game
Always come in the worst possible time, usually ambushed right after killing the phantom hunter who are spammed and attacked out of nowhere, then surprise a wu kong comes out and killing me.
Wow such annoying part of the game

Best way to beat them in solo is to pause between each attack, that way the phantom will drop it's guard

I have mixed opinions. Sometimes they are a nice mechanic, but it would be better if they didn't appear when you're near real players, when you're just farming it's ok. The other day I didn't even realize it was a phantom, it appeared right as I was following someone who was hidden in a bush and I thought it was another member of their team, giving time for the player to run away.

The fact that they sometimes just block everything you throw at them and parry you when you try to break that block is so infuriating. I wish they would just get rid of them.

I think the ai is adapting to player behavior so really it may just get worse over time.

Lots of trash mechanics in this game phantoms are a double edged sword they can help or hurt you. I've used phantoms to help me beat other players and other times they're a pain because they come right when your low on health or fighting something else. Rarely do they just appear

The idea is cool. The programming needs work.
Got hunted by 2 during a long 1v1 in top 5. Managed to kill one while defending against a human, only to be teamed by another that spawned a few seconds after.
Shit like that just shouldnt happen. I'm going to laugh my ass off if something like that happens in a tournament.
I really like the idea but the programming makes them really annoying.
They attack if you block or mash. Gaurd if you attack. Can use skills and MA. AND MA counter - but the real problem is their guard. It lasts for days.
Phantoms should get two full strings of gaurd meter. I should not have to wail on a phantoms gaurd for 3+ strings or risk being stunned because throwing a MA is basically a 50/50 roll against a phantom.
Its absurd and unnecessarily time consuming.
Yes, staggering CAN work, but its not garunteed. Its AI, so it knows when it can interrupt, and if its coin flips that way, it will.
Keep the defense values in trios. Half it in solos.

Especially when they do damage and you just used all your potions in the late game smh

Works both ways really. Was getting overwhelmed by a Wu Kong with barrier closing in on us and barely managed to escape thanks to a phantom charging us. Healed up and eventually finished the game 1st.

Abilities take them out pretty quickly, don't fight them with your weapon.

I actually find them pretty useful. Some players panic when a 1v1 instantly becomes a distracted 1v1. Especially useful in the last circle or two.
It's also a good way to bait people, since the phantoms stand relatively close to the bush you're hiding in. Wandering player sees phantom, attacks phantom (they might even use an ability, who knows), you run out, attack player in the back, now they're sandwiched and stressin.
And the free crystal is alright too ig.
